Highlighting Study Abroad in Your Career Search

Studying abroad can trigger a great deal of personal, academic, and professional growth. Living in a different culture and environment can teach you how to be more flexible and how to adapt to new environments, which are desirable traits in any professional setting. It is essential that you highlight the skills that you have developed through your study abroad experience in your resume, cover letter, and interviews. Effectively communicating the skills and experiences from your international experience will help differentiate you from other candidates.
